English? Nope, not really... but you can download the G35 manual which is effectively the V35 manual which will be almost all you need if you have a RWD 3.5L Stagea.

For those of us with an AWD 2.5L turbo, no English manuals are available, yet.

Guys, whatever you do, do not get your translations done by JPNZ.

Back when i was heavily involved in the Galant/Legnum VR-4 scene in 2008, we (OZVR4.COM) got JPNZ to do the translation of our workshop manual for the Galant and Legnum VR-4.

After countless e-mails that were never replied and 15 months of waiting, we finally received the finished product which was nothing short of rubbish.

Half of the chapters were not translated.

When we questioned this, JPNZ (Michael Mccarthy - Director) got back to us and said something along the lines of "you paid for 3000 pages to be translated, not 3200".

Our workshop manuals cost $150 per person and we had to get 100 people in.

Don't ever get them to do your workshop manuals.

Ass rapers.

PS: There are quite a few threads on OZVR4.COM you can read up on (if you have access to the forums)

I thought Michael McCarthy of JPNZ may like to reply to this, so I emailed him and pointed him in this direction. His reply to me is posted with his authority, below.

"It is the same old thing as with everything like this you can't keep everybody happy. This person has never contacted us and the club never got us to translate. Our site receives requests and once we have enough we publish a manual if we decide the people making request are actual people wanting one and we decide there will be a need in the market.

This is our publication and we decide how far to go. We don't aim to translate every page of the manual, we aim to make a manual to suit the guy who wants to repair his own vehicle and the workshop who needs more info, somewhere between a Haynes type manual and the full on workshop manual.

Most manuals out of Japan are NZ $600 and about 1000 pages. It is impossible for us to translate and publish 1000 pages for $150 and most people don't ever need everything it would only be the mechanical engineer studying the topic that would. Even Nissan when they published a manual in English for the R34 it was only 200 pages and the Japanese is near 1000 pages. Please also remember we have been in business for 14 years and now publish 260 owners manuals and sell to all the major car makers and have done for years and also have published about 8 workshop manuals with no bad feedback from customers. We have never had to give a refund.

I'm not sure what it is with people on the chat groups but they like to say things to make themselves look good but they are behind a computer not talking to someone face to face and what this person said was a load of rubbish. He probably never even brought one.

Regards

Michael McCarthy (Director)"

Man, I would be prepared to pay $150 for a Haynes-cross-workshop manual in English.

Really? Pissing and moaning after paying $150 for a 3000 page translated manual?

Pissing and moaning after 15 months of stuffing around and not receiving what was paid for, boy.

At the end of the day, it's your decision on what you want to do.

My post serves as feedback on JPNZ. Refer to the links i've posted and you can make your own decisions and judgements there.

Well I'm still in. I hope it gives all the info needed for a home service etc. I guess we'll wait and see but I think it will be ok. Anyway at least I can get on their case as they are local.

Haven't they already done one for the earlier stag? If so, was it alright?

Yep, and yet you still seem to be pissing and moaning.

Perhaps more patience and understanding would have gotten you the result you wanted.

Yes, 15 months is a fair while, but sometimes things that are unique and worthwhile take time

In order to read those links, I had to join that forum which I did. In the limited time I had available to read the posts, it appears they actually published 3x workshop manuals for that model, and even bent over backwards to provide the information the VR4 people wanted. Considering they're the only company I'm aware of translating JDM manuals, it's not like they competing for this area. If it was so easy, they'd be a bunch of companies doing it. I bought a couple of their owners manuals a while back, and thought they were good value, when you consider the very small market they have for these. If they could sell truckloads of each model, sure they could afford to translate every page, but it all boils down to economics. I look forward to the JPNZ M35 manual. Negative feedback from 2008 is not going to help getting this published for those who want it.

The R32 Skyline manual I saw some time ago from JPNZ was pretty damn good.I am not a mechanic but it is obvious once you see the manual that it is of a high standard and very profesional. Cant comment about missing pages but sounds like a communication problem between the 2 parties to me.

It Is easy to be critical of JPNZ without supporting documentation. Throw enough mud and some will stick.

I would be confident to buy from JPNZ from the material I have seen. its hard enough to know on the Internet who is and who isnt reputable. I hope this helps reduce the misinformatiion.

you are aware that there is a japanese one listed on thise site and with a bit for mucking about with acrobat and google you can do it yourself
